Analysis: Experiment is inaccurate. One flame could produce more heat than the other. However, our thermometers cannot measure the amount of heat that the flame produces even when using it to heat water, so we had to resort to this. Given proper equipment, the experiment could be repeated to a greater degree of accuracy regarding the amount of energy released.
Results
Peanut- 1min, 42s, 62ms
Cashew nut- 3 min, 13s, 90ms.
Conclusion: Cashew nuts contain more energy.
